Literature

Al-Anon/Alateen Conference Approved Literature and service materials help members to continue their recovery between meetings and gain insight into themselves and the principles of the Al-Anon/Alateen program. It is written by and for our members and goes through a review process by numerous Al-Anon members to assure that it conveys the program in a consistent and comprehensive manner.

Literature orders ship the Thursday after payment is received, and the shipping time is normally 1-2 days in the greater Seattle area.
